Abstract: 

Long-distance communication between organs by physical and chemical signals along the phloem is an established phenomenon. For instance, action potentials effecting on distant ion channels in Mimosa pudica are well-known long-distance messengers (Lüttge et al. 2002). Propagation of electric signals may be mainly associated with the phloem pathway (e.g. Sibaoka 1969; Fromm and Eschrich 1988; Rhodes et al. 1996). In response to an action potential propagated along the sieve tubes, ion channels and possibly aquaporins are gated selectively in distant pulvinus tissues. The resulting water flux from extensor to flexor parenchyma causes downward leaf movement in Mimosa.
